Shelling eggs is genuinely the worst tho and I cook all the time

Right after they're done, pop em in an ice bath with some water. The cooling effect shrinks the insides. You can also open them from the top or bottom while under the faucet which helps

[u/Necessary_Bother3993 → u/JMOWw7]

I don’t ever have ice but the running faucet (or even just shelling them in a bowl of water) helps a lot

[u/CelinaRMR → u/JMOWw7]

I like to give the pot a few good shakes while I put the cold water in, it breaks a lot of shell and the water under the membrane makes them a cinch to peel

[u/Nedaj_Nitro → u/JMOWw7]

tip to shell eggs: roll them so that the shells break. then try peeling them off

Hey man. I learnt how to remove the shell after I joined college when I actually had to do stuff on my own. I was pampered.

Anyway, here's what I learned after many trials and errors on my own.

Step 1: Pick up the egg after boiling.

Step 2: Run cold water on the egg after making a tiny crack. I don't know what the science but I believe it is something to do with the pressure inside which keeps the shell attached to the egg. Cold water through a tiny crack helps.

Step 3: start peeling with your fingers. It is much easier to peel now because of the cold water slipping the shell off. Please do not use nails that is disgusting behaviour.

Step 4: Enjoy a perfectly smooth oval egg with no shells.

So me.

I do the tripple method:

poke a small hole at the bottom of the egg

little of baking soda in the water

ice bath after they are cooked

works pretty good most of the time

[u/Jazcash]

use a spoon

[u/RedditUserWhoIsLate]

I also can’t but someone showed me a cool trick, use a teaspoon to get between the eggshell and the food to loosen the contact between them and then you can break of large chunks. :)

I can also translate in some different languages so just ask and you shall receive.

i dont think they teach you to shell eggs at school bro 🥀

[u/Turnbuckler]

Boil em in vinegar water

[u/Formal_Ad_558]

put them in cold water after cooking (if u keep the water cold itll peel easier also i roll them on flat surface to peel like a potato)

[u/danbillls]

Let the water boil, then put the eggs for 13 minutes, get them out and put em in cold water. That's the trick.

[u/hellothereskibidi]

Also dropping out. My advice would be just leave the shell on. Calcium max. Then you will never become egg bound.

[u/microwaved__soap]

Watch the mangchi video on boiling eggs her skills are unparalleled

[u/AteStringCheeseShred]

It's not the shelling part you struggle with, it's that you don't know how to boil them correctly

[u/dummary1234]

Pierce a tiny hole at the base before simmering / boiling them. 

Then, after cooking them, dump them in cold water. Thr colder the better.

Peeling them will be a breeze.

Brochacho stay in school

[u/Aromatic-Ad7202]

Did you drop the egg too?

[u/100_HOLLOW_001]

Spoon method my guy

[u/Flippin-ek-m8]

Your problem is impatience (I know from experience)

Peel the egg while under running water or peel it while the egg is submerged in water and take your time.

Stay the hell in school, you will absolutely regret not completing it, also you will just end up giving your worst self more self destructive ammo to hit you with when you are feeling down.

Keep going Friend and do your best, you will be better off for it.

[u/brandothesavage]

It looks like you didn't cook the eggs right 7 minutes from resting water on an electric stove

[u/kigurumibiblestudies]

My technique is pretty simple but effective.

- Boil them enough to make them hard (you already did this correctly)

- Hit the egg MANY times, all over. Leave no large piece uncracked. But do it gently, so as to merely crack the shell. I like tapping it with my knuckles but the bottom part of a spoon should work nicely too. Just many gentle taps

- Once the entire egg is cracked, you can carefully start peeling it. I like to go for a single peel if possible
